Native-CHOICES Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Native CHOICES InterventionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Native-CHOICES will comprise usual care plus 2 MI sessions delivered over 4 weeks; a contraception counseling session at a local clinic; and 3 months of electronic messaging to boost the effects of MI and counseling by increasing perceptions of social connection and social support for behavior change. Contraception counseling will be completed within 2 weeks after the second MI session, so the maximum duration of MI and counseling for each participant will be 6 weeks. Electronic messaging will include positive motivational content consistent with alcohol and contraception use goals set in the MI sessions.
Group II: Wait-list Control GroupActive Control1 Intervention
The control condition will comprise usual care for the 6-month study period, with a wait-list design that offers women the Native- CHOICES program after they have completed the 6-month data collection.
